Third article in William Mathewson Milliken's series on lace history, published in Antiques in October 1922. It traces Venetian needle lace in the seventeenth century, from punto in aria to raised Venetian point and flat Venetian point (including coralline lace), and the later grounded Venetian point. It recounts how Colbert's recruitment of Venetian workers moved lace leadership to France, then discusses Milanese bobbin tape lace (punto di Milano) and its move to net grounds. Twelve captioned photographs of museum pieces, including a chasuble, chalice veil and flounces, are discussed in the text.
